deal with youre problems. if youre bullied at school, talk to the teachers, got problems with youre girlfriend, talk to her. MAGIC ARE NOT ALWAYS THE SOLUTION!
Things wont happen just because you draw a little picture and wank over it. Want youre magic to work?
Figure out what you want, why you want it and how you gonna get to that goal. then do it. If youthink it might be extra helpful with some sort of ritual, then do it. Dont start with what kind of demon would be useful to help you. then youre fucked. And cought in just another religion and who needs that?

magic are all about getting a new look on things, seeing stuff from a different angle. Its all about clearing youre mind. Everything else are just tools.
Too much magic are just about bragging and pretending, Shut up and do stuff.

Thanks for that, we had no idea, you've shown us the light.
I have a suspicion you might be posting to yourself, giving yourself good advice- in which case forgive my intrusion. Otherwise, if your intention is to spread this message, try a little self awareness. Poorly spelled (see my punning?) messages purporting to be from a superior standpoint are unlikely to be well received.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with what you say- just not the way you say it.

What Quantum said. And one other thing, I agree with you, yes. But maybe you could lighten up on it. Especially when someone is just experimenting, just starting in magic, I think it's normal to try to pull off excessively self-centered and pointless "spells". I know I did it, and I think everyone else here did too. It's normal. And then you stick with things, and learn what works for you and what doesn't. And you grow up. So get off the caffeine and lighten up, ok? (See, I can make a pun too, Q.)

I cant spell in my original swedish either so dont worry about it...

The worst self-centered bastards i come across seems to have been involved with this stuff way too long... But the new ones need to learn: Magick is a state of mind not an image or religion. Its all about dealing with the world around you. And that cant be said too many times. A neewbie can learn alot more when looking out their beedroom window for 6 hours than reading 1200 books...

And i get a bit worried when people thing magick gonna save their life. It wont. With such a approach you wont succed in anything. You wont even get laid...
If you just want an escape way and a look, go to the catholic church. magic is doing.

"I know I did it, and I think everyone else here did too."

Guffaw, that's just nonsense. I never did anything of the sort. That's what my magical servitors were for!

As to what magic is all about, I was always given to the believe that magic was mostly just about bragging and pretending. I'm glad that you've shown me the error of my ways.

In closing, ftaghn upon you, moon baby. I dispute your claim that magic won't get you laid and invoke the spirit of Flavouritisma to binding!

I'm starting to feel as if my posts are rather pointless exercises. Must re-evaluate. More magic is needed.
